MTSS at Oak Park MTSS Trainers: Janet Stephenson Melissa Long School Psychologist: Griselle Zeno
Agenda • Overview • Instruction at Tier 1, 2 and 3 • Intervention Process & Design • Fidelity of the Intervention • Data Team Meetings
Essential Question and Outcome Essential Question: How does the MTSS process help students? Outcome: • To understand that MTSS is the school effort for improving student achievement. • To understand differences in Tier 1,2 and 3 instruction. • To know the process of meetings and paperwork expectations at Oak Park. • To understand the importance of fidelity and direct instruction.
Overview of MTSS
New Way of Thinking From: “What’s wrong with this child?” To: “What supports does this child need to be successful?” Instruction Curriculum Environment Learner
Tiered Model of School Supports & The Problem-Solving Process ACADEMIC and BEHAVIOR SYSTEMS Tier 3: Intensive, Individualized Interventions & Supports. Tier 2: Targeted, Supplemental Interventions & Supports. Tier 1: Core, Universal Instruction & Supports.

In order to implement MTSS, you need a few pieces of infrastructure: • Capacity to Problem-Solve • Capacity to Collect Data, and Make Sense of it • Capacity to deliver instruction at different intensities (Tiered-levels of services) • Capacity to Display Data Over Time
What ShouldInstruction Look Like at Tier 1, 2 and 3?
What is the Focus of Tier 1 ? Academic • High quality instruction and classroom management • Universal Screening to determine each student’s level of proficiency • Differentiated instruction is used and student’s progress monitored • Differentiation occurs in small, teacher-led flexible groups during the 90 min block
What is the Focus of Tier 1?Behavior • High quality classroom management • Effective school-wide discipline plan and/or positive behavior support • Questions to ask? • Do 80-90% of students in the school respond positively to the school-wide discipline plan? • Does the behavior level of the target student differ significantly from that of the peer group?
Activity: Tier 1 Instruction , Tier 2 and Tier 3 Instruction Tier 3
Tier 1 Instruction VersusTier 2 Instruction • Data focuses on grade level/subject area/behavior • Effective instructional strategies for large group/small group • Differentiate Instruction focuses on diverse learners – skill/ability/interest groups • Should result in approximately 80% of students achieving proficiency • School-wide expectations align with grade level targets and supports to promote academic and behavioral needs
Tier 1 Instruction VersusTier 2 Instruction • Focused on a skill that is a barrier • Data is used to identify groups for academic/behavior needs • Problem solving is used to develop interventions • Intervention is additional minutes of supplemental instruction • Instruction provided in Tier 2 must be integrated with Tier 1 content and performance expectations • Impact of Tier 2 instruction should result in 70% or more of students achieving grade-level expectations.
Tier 3 – Most Intense • More instructional time • Smaller instructional groups • More precisely targeted at the appropriate level • Clearer and more detailed explanations • More systematic instructional sequences • More extensive opportunities for practice • More opportunities for feedback
What do they have in common? Tier 3 HIGH QUALITY INSTRUCTION
Remember: TIERS are the level of support students need in order to be successful.
Intervention Design • Must Target the missing skill(s) • Include Explicit instruction • Within a supported learning environment • Purposeful • Well-planned • Based on data • Focused on alterable variables within the Instruction, Curriculum, Environment
Fidelity of the Intervention • Daily consistency – no cancellations • Teaching the same skill for the entire intervention cycle. • Same teacher is teaching the group for the entire intervention cycle. • Progress monitoring regularly • Instruction is direct • Instruction is scaffolded (I Do, We Do, You Do) • Progress monitoring tool matches the intervention

Teacher Data Meetings Purpose Student Achievement Collaborate to problem solve and plan interventions both at Tier 1 and Tier 2 level Monitor student progress Learn from each other
Examples of what to bring to Data Team Meetings and IPST • Be able to “tell the story” • Intervention Log(s) – (Form 7) • Know when interventions started, began, changed. • Include ongoing progress monitoring data – matched to intervention. • Include data for all kids that were in the intervention group. • Parent Conference Info – (Form 2) • Cume Folder/Cume Folder Review – (Form 1) • Other formative/diagnostic assessments
